Overview

This collection of poetry acts as an addition to my first book, 'Blooming Us', to show the development in Gothic writing as I delve deeper into the supernatural. Indeed, travelling to Greece was pivotal for the process of comparing a palm tree to a 'giant claw' that seemed to gnaw at the seams of my collar. Unlike my first collection, this one challenges my initial haiku forms: for example, the build-up of images toward a red bough makes up of five lines in total. Three wouldn't have worked. As for the moon, I seem to have taken it from poet Richard Adlington - by whom I was inspired - as I appear eager to create something so absurd out of it in the verse. Most of my poems always tell of the moon. Imagist poets, or specifically F.S. Flint, argued that they 'never' tried to invent the moon. I, on the other hand, love the idea of 'inventing' it. I explored themes of nature, love, loss, death and desire. The collection begins with poems written by Elisha Singh, Megan Hall and Chanel Ricketts, giving them the opportunity to share their creativity. In addition, there are doodles of Ava's beautiful photography, on which I also wrote haiku. The collection ends with a nice little passage by Lina, who compresses the complexity of contemporary love using three lines. But enjoy it, nonetheless!
